"The key to great interviewing is listening-concentrating solely on the answer to be sure you're aligned with your guest. The same is true for great business leaders. Art's guide for gaining greater alignment can help any team or organization achieve top performance."-Larry King, the world's most recognized interviewer
Leading organizations worldwide are evolving from the idea of employee engagement to that of organizational alignment. More important in today's virtual work environment, The Art of Alignment provides a roadmap to creating alignment to your mission and vision to distributed teams. Readers will discover the answers to:
How bought in to the mission and vision are your employees? Are leaders across your organization aligned? How are your KPIs integrated into the organizational alignment?The Art of Alignment takes a data-driven approach to organizational alignment. When executives add PURPOSE to engagement, coupled with measurement, your organization will experience market-leading performance. By following the 9-Pillars approach to leadership, your organization can increase key metrics by as much as 28% with each percentage point improvement in alignment.
The approach to organizational alignment is organized into four parts; how it can be measured, practiced and analyzed:
Part 1 - Alignment is the Responsibility of Leadership
Part 2 - The Nine Pillars of Alignment
Part 3 - The Data-Driven Leadership Playbook
Part 4 - The Scientific Leader - Where Data Science Meets Leadership Decisions
By adopting a scientific approach to your leadership style, leaders are able to visualize how to improve employee engagement and performance.
